Well, people are addicted to junk food and it causes things like high cholesterol and nutritional problems... And obesity. Will they ever illegalize junk food... Not a chance. Even large amounts of caffeine begin to cause nerve damage over a long enough period.
Are you telling me that cigarettes & alcohol are less addictive and easier on your body than illegal drugs like mescaline, psilocybin or marijuana?
It's as dumb as illegalizing poison IMO... If people are dumb enough to abuse them, then maybe they deserve to pay for it. Perhaps education is a better use of our time and money.
